Mastic Bush Tea

Wild-harvested at Casa Khadijah, our off-grid permaculture finca in the hills of Aragón, Spain. Pistacia lentiscus, the mastic bush, grows wild across the Mediterranean scrubland of our land and has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine. The dried leaves make a resinous, aromatic infusion with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, traditionally used to support digestive health, oral hygiene, and the immune system. Earthy, distinctive, and completely caffeine-free.

No additives. No chemicals. Just mastic.

Mastic has a naturally resinous flavour. We recommend pairing with honey or a squeeze of lemon to soften it. Not recommended for those with a known pistachio or tree nut allergy.
